Better season...slightly. We finished 8th, one position behind Slough Town, but we've had the better of them over the two seasons.
P38, W16, D8, L14, Gf61, Ga44, Pts56
League Cup: Semi, beaten by Everton 4-1 on aggregate
FA Cup: 4th rnd, beaten 1-0 by Chelsea
We've "qualified" for the Inter-Toto so I've signed a contract at £22000p/w for a season, I'll probably see how we go in the Inter-Toto and decide after that whether to complete my contract or bow out gracefully and start another game.

This age thing's a pain in the arse.
I'm 72, game age, and I can't help but think it's a bit long in the tooth to manage at that level, but I've a few really good looking laddies in the Reserves and U-18s ( :eek: Steady!!), and I'd hate to jack before I see what they mature into.
Could I be the first ever 80y/o EPL manager?
Time will tell....

Depends on what your in-game health and faculties have been like I suppose...
Actually, that could be a cool new feature. The game making you do deliberately random things the older you get. When you get to 80 it should automatically make you sub your best performing outfield player for your goalkeeper, leading you to eventually get sacked for senility |

Great work there Ian! :thup:
Shame about the age. How old was the oldest manager at top level? I'm too lazy to check myself.

Dunno. The oldest I can think of was Sir Bobby...Guy Roux retired at 67...I'm sure someone else will pitch in |

Of course if you factor in the increasing life expectancy and our governments inclination to increase the state retirement age, you could easily be gainfully employed at 80 in the 2030s |
